Abstract Optical Burst Switching (OBS) is a promising candidate for a more dynamic optical
network layer. One central task is the reservation of resources in the core nodes …

In this paper we present an analytical model, which considers the effects of the switching
time on the network performance in service differentiated optical packet/burst switching …

Optical burst switching (OBS) has attracted interest as a transport network architecture for
the future optical Internet. As OBS relies on statistical multiplexing efficient contention …

Optical burst switching (OBS) has been proposed in the late 1990s as a novel photonic
network architecture directed towards efficient transport of IP traffic. OBS aims at cost …

Optical burst switching (OBS) and Optical packet switching (OPS) are highly dynamic
transport network architectures for a future optical Internet. As they both rely on statistical …

Abstract Long Reach PONs (LR-PON) were proposed to extend the benefits of Passive
Optical Networks (PON) to more users and to a larger area. This paper considers a Dynamic …

This paper proposes a service differentiation scheme called preemptive wavelength
reservation protocol (PWRP) to provide proportional quality of service (QoS) for optical-burst …

Wavelength-routed optical network (WRON) architectures potentially simplify routing and
processing functions in high-capacity, high-bit rate WDM optical networks. With the inherent …

Abstract Passive Optical Networks (PON) have emerged as an important fiber-based access
network alternative to DSL, Cable, and other access networks. Some of the limitations of …

Enhanced just-in-time (E-JIT) is a new one-way resource reservation protocol for optical
burst switching (OBS) networks. This paper investigates the effect of control packet (setup …
